Le Petit Belge - JLT

Le Petit Belge stands for all small things that make Belgium great. They are a Belgian safe haven where everyone can enjoy the good taste of Belgian culture in its broadest sense. They are more than a restaurant, more than a bar, they are the informal embassy of Belgian food and hop culture.

Rated We thought we were going to have a nice dinner and catch up but we were in for a surprise. The music was so loud we could not even hear each other - it's a restaurant or MAYBE a pub-ish place but NOT a club, the service was horrific, and the place smelled like fried food. We had to ask the waiter to bring our water around 4 times. Then we had to ask her to bring us some bread around 4 times. Fortunately, the food was really good so I'm rating it 3.5 otherwise I would have rated it a 2.5 by far. We ordered the Coq au Vin and the brussel sprouts ceaser salad (without croutons and with grilled chicken instead of parmesan crusted). The Coq au Vin was delicious! But I doubt I'll go again...

Rated I've fallen in love with the location of this restaurant, it's like hunting for an underground treasure! Thought the menu was slightly limited but quality is always more important than quantity, which LPB evidently focuses on. Food is great and enjoyable, especially if you're a fan of delicacies. Service is kind of slow, but not unbearable.
Also, prices aren't really reasonable, given the portions.
But overall, a great restaurant that I wouldn't visit once only :) However, I'd appreciate more varieties of cocktails...

Rated Once in a while i like to visit a bar that is not over crowded, and doesnt have music that could potentially make you go deaf! Went on a friday evening, for their happy hours, and instantly loved our decision to do so. Not too many people, playing some old 80s and 90s music and some good food!. I love their interiors too! A lot of black and a lot of wood! I wish they had a few cocktails, if not many, on their happy hour menu. The food was great. I was upset about them charging me 10 aed for a small bottle of water though! To be honest, their food is expensive too. I loved the Belgian fries we got! Also got a salad with blue cheese and walnuts, loved it!. If you are in the mood for a laid back evening, head here.

Rated Belgian culture, especially it’s food is reflective of the cuisines of neighbouring France, Germany and the Netherlands. For this reason, if you are a fan of Cheeses, Charcuterie and Croque Madammes, you are in for a Gallic treat with the new breakfast-cum-brunch offering at Le Petite Belgique. (LPB) A haven where everyone can enjoy the taste of Belgian culture in the broadest sense, with a restaurant that has billed itself as “the informal embassy of Belgian food and hop culture.” ...Read full post on mrandmrsbrunch.com

Rated I think it was our longing to be strolling on the streets of Brussels that led us to Le Petit Belge. Going underground you come face to face with a lit sign simply stating the name of the restaurant that lets you know you have arrived. The friendly hostess helped us choose a table, and then our also amicable waitress provided us with the menus. One of my first choices was the Lobster/crab roll, which unfortunately was unavailable. After thoroughly exploring the menu, we came to a consensus. These would be the platters we would be ordering: the Beef carpaccio, one piece of Oyster, the Scottish salmon cured in Duvel beer, the Wagyu beef and Passendaele cheese burger, the Fish and chips with a Belgian twist, and a side of Brussels sprouts with turkey bacon. As we waited for our food to arrive, I noticed that I was singing along to the music. It had been a while since I had actually enjoyed the tracks played at an eatery. Our appetizers arrived and I preferred the salmon with beer (although not too evident) with its fresh citrus bursts to the beef carpaccio. The carpaccio had nice flavors that were overshadowed because it was too heavy on the balsamic; I literally had to scrape some off to enjoy the taste of the meat. Then the main dishes were placed on our table. The Wagyu beef burger was juicy due to its doneness and the crispy fries was a great companion. However, the fish was too thick and formed sort of clumps instead of being flaky –smothering it with the tasty chunky tartar sauce rendered it edible though. Now, for the sweet ending to our last meal in Dubai before heading home. I had my eye on the Moelleux aux chocolat (that is how it’s spelt on the menu) and the Belgian chocolate mousse, and after another closer look at the dessert menu, these choices were confirmed. The presentation was pretty for both of them but it was time to dig in. The mousse was good, yet the moelleux was truly delicious. The outer cake crust and the inner gooey filling were delectable; this was the best item I had eaten at Le Petit Belge. It would have to do, until I could have my Belgian chocolate fix on the Sablon (hint: the two word name of the chocolaterie and the chocolatier are one and the same). The reality check for the time being though was that I had a plane to catch. saltedcaramel85.wordpress.com

Rated I went to Le Petit Belge on a Saturday for their Brunch Buffet AED125 per person including one hot beverage a small brunch buffet and one hot menu item. We sat outdoors which was really nice but I cannot say I was impressed. Service was not as attentive as one would expect but there were also only two girls working. The menu was small but relatively diverse with a selection of cereals, breads, cheese board, two types of salad, some fresh fruit and cold drinks. I ordered the eggs royale (basically eggs benny but with salmon) and no hollandaise. The portion was quite petit but the eggs came as expected, medium. holdthemoo.com

Rated I used to come to this place before it was Le Petit Belge and very surprised to see it revamped into a really nice, social and busy place. It has the right atmosphere with in- and outdoor seating, a bar and Dutch/Flemish texts around. Came in on a Ladies night, which offers unlimited drinks for ladies and 30% discount on food.
We tried the Cheese platter which was nice. Le Petit Belge is the right mix between Belgium Beer Cafe and Cafe Belge in DIFC, and more reasonable priced as well. Coming back here to try more!

Rated Nice place in jlt but for an easy night with friends, maybe with a draft of beer. The menu has the typical elements of a belge restaurant with international/French touch(mussels, cheese,etc).
The food is normal, not amazing , the music is nice

Rated I hunted through the entertainer to see what offers were on for places I hadn't been to before, and ended up here.. The bar and atmosphere was good, although in the dining area that was a lack of clients.... Having experienced the meal I could understand why.... My friend had fish and chips, which were not gr eat at all, the fish was overcooked, and the chips came from the freezer, I'm in a Belgian bar, I expected Belgin fries, not poor quality frozen potatoes..... I had the veal sausages, which were ok, but beyond the quality, was the price was extortionate.... On the menu the mussles are around 140 Dirhams, I'm Belgium, they are affordable to everyone.... Not a great experience at all... We did speak to the manager, who complimented our meals, which was a good touch... However I have three entertainer vouchers which I won't be using... I'm sad to say...
